On rGSumlnT at : +. NJ, Alf. St NenS
again asked for continuance, so that
the defendants might have reasona-
Die time to get their witnesses to
gether, as they wished to prove that
most of the alleged occurrences testi-
fed to by the witnesses was false,
and as some of the charges were new
ey pleaded for time to get other
witnesses.
Sergeant Lumis then read the
charge which he preferred in the
morning, as follows: That the said
Moore and Afford demanded money
from q man named Hoyt in an il
legal manner and have on several
occasions been drunk,
T. BROWN

or Afford intoxicated, but have often
drank with them in the Anheuser sa-
loon.
WILLIAM ABBOTT
Testified: | have known Moore and
Afford to have been drunk on the
force pretty often. Three Or four
times within the last month. 1t wa
during tie evening. | do not know
whether they we're on duty or not. My
business is anything that | can make
money at. | have dealt little in real
estate. got some of my money from
my mother. | make money by nv
wits. | have u room on New High
street, and live alone. | can't remem-
Der lust now OF any other person that

people were there at the time. | think
Burke and Tracy were drinking with
US. Burke lives on New High street
and Tracy on Also street. They al
WAYS have plenty of money, but ! do
not know where they get 1t or their
business. / will swear that they were
drunk during the last three weeks.
OFFICER BosQUr
Stated that his testimony was only
against Moore. He had seen Moore
drunk on Main street, but could not
remember the exact date, and was on
the same beat as Moore while
he was acting as detective or
on special work. One night Moore
spoke to him and then went
into the Club Theatre bar-room, then
to Tom Shaw's. He remembered put
ting Colonel Moore's horse in stable,
as he had seen it standing for long
time in the street-in fact all night.
He had some talk with Colonel Moore
about the horse. Moore could hardly
articulate, and he saw him in the
Nadeau bar drinking about 4 20 A. NJ,
as he came off duty. Did not know
that it was his duty to report officers
for being drunk. He had never been
told to do SO.
In reply to u question from Chief
Darcy, he stated that it was in the
time Of Chief Skinner, and he had not
told it to any one. He had been work
ing up this case, and was detailed to
do it. Had no personal feeling in the
matter, and if this matter had not
arisen would never have mentioned
it. Sergeant Lumis asked him to dig
up this matter, and he did it when off
regular duty.
Bower, recalled, said he remem-
bered Abbott and Moore and himself
drinking in the Anheuser saloon.
Afford had once had claret at his
house.
At this stage the officer submitted a
letter which he had got from Mrs.
Brown, and read as follows:
"Thirty days after date promise
to pay to Mrs. Brown the sum Of $40
borrowed money. Signed by Afford. "
MRS. BROWN
then testified "Alford was at my house
one night and said he would treat me
if he had the money, but he was
broke. l said l did not like to see
anv one broke and said I'd lend him
some money, which | did. l never
saw him drunk; he was several times
at my house when he was employed
as detective. l once saw u lady re-
ward him for n little service he did
her. | remember Hoyt telling me
that he had paid Afford money for
helping him to recover a watch. Hoyt
borrowed $50 from me and said he
wanted TO pay it 10 Afford, but | don't
know whether he paid it or not"
NELLIE 1HoRNE
stated that she had seen Afford az the
house the same time as Geo. Hoytt
was there and lost his watch, and
they had several drinks, She had
also seen Moore and Afford there, but
they were not int xicated.
An affidavit was read signed by u.
